Unfortunately that’s hard to write in a way that’s interesting, or at least that’s my interpretation. Maybe it would read too much like political and economic theory. And then in the cases where it is done it either leads to things like ‘get away from capitalism’ which many ppl wouldn’t like or just not discussing it much like Star Trek where supposedly there is no money but it’s not really explained how. (And I assume if it were more explicitly socialist start trek would have become as big)
- zbentley 2y agoIain Banks managed to walk the “utopian but doesn’t become a dry political treatise” line pretty well. Ironically, his works are favorites of several leaders in the torment-nexus-creation space.
- klyrs 2y agoMy understanding of Star Trek is that it's a post-scarcity utopia. The narrative interest comes from the strife of non-utopian societies.
